The birds, the birds!
Dec. 13th, 2006 08:51 pmSo the starlings have been congregating in and around my yard lately. I took videos, 'cause the flocks (probably upwards of 2,000 birds) have to be seen to be believed. Of course, since they're an infestation over most of the world, you've all probably seen them flocking before. Nevertheless, bird videos from my backyard! (Quicktime format; right-click and save.)
Video 1 (14 MB). Er, ignore the drone of the airplane that plays through most of this. I live five minutes from the airport; there's no getting around it. But notice that you can still hear the birds over the sound of the plane.
Video 2 (3 MB). This is what happens when someone claps their hands real loud.
I also have photos of birds in the trees and sunset from the other day .
